Indo-M'sia ties important, govt must explain Tajuddin's appointment, say academicians


PETALING JAYA: There must be a public explanation over Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman's latest appointment as ambassador to Indonesia because diplomatic relations between Malaysia and the republic are one of the most important bilateral ties in the region.

Azmi Hassan, a senior fellow at Nusantara Academy for Strategic Research (NASR), said there's nothing surprising about political appointees being ambassadors, as there were multiple occasions in the past where politicians were appointed to the position.
